    Gold Rush
    Chris H.

    A small Ice cream shop on the outskirts of Charlevoix. They serve Ashby's Ice Cream and fast foods. I ordered a Gold Rush Ice Cream in a waffle cone. Gold Rush is Golden Vanilla and Chocolate Ice cream swirled with thick Caramel. It was very good. I also got a doggie cone, however it was just a small amount of vanilla soft serve in a lid/bowl. The person I was with ordered a Butter Pecan and thought it was very good. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes, however we were there a few days before they closed for the season, so it'll have to wait.

    Still CASH ONLY - no debit/credit cards so be ready! Only open late spring through summer. Closed fall/winter. Soft served ice cream is soooo good! French fries are yum! They have burgers etc too. A few picnic benches around to sit down, otherwise take to go. Summer tradition to go here for ice cream after a day at the beach.

    Cash only so be prepared. There's always a line but it's worth the wait! The burgers are delicious and homemade and the ice cream is just as good! Worth a stop for sure.

    This walk up road side stand south of town is great for a quick bite. They have the major things you would except with quality ingredients. And their fries are what make this review 5 stars. I had their made to order cheese burger with fresh fixings and a blackberry shake that had real blackberries. The ordering process was efficient orders in front up pick food in back. The only complaint I have is the menu is way overwhelming and such small print. Service was fast and friendly and if I'm ever in the area again I'll be sure to try this place again especially another shake or their soft serve ice cream cones.

    Great old school Ice Cream stand serving both soft serve and hand dipped Ice Cream. I had the large vanilla and chocolate soft serve in a cone and it was great. My guests opted for the shake and they were all very good. Try this locally owned stand before they close for the winter!

    Delicious stop to the end of our day in Charlevoix! Our entire family enjoyed our ice cream from the Dairy Grille. Prices are so reasonable, just be sure you have cash on hand. Can't wait to visit again!

    Mmmmm! My favorite ice cream! Superman! They have the best ice cream!

    WOW! This place hits the spot! Amazing Service and food. I feel like this is more of a pick up your food and go not a sit and eat. Ice cream and burgers were great! COVID rules are good there. I don't see them wiping down things at all. I have never seen anyone sanitize anything. It could just be me though. If your looking for a pick up your food and go place this is it. If your looking for a good sit down place to eat, go to the villager pub or terry's place! Definitely check out the wahoo burger! They also make great hot fudge sundaes! You have to check this place out!

    Great community ice cream shop. The baby size avalanche is awesome if you just ate too much BBQ.

    Dairy Grille is always my first stop driving up north each summer. Cheeseburgers are even better than the ice cream.

    Amazing burgers, fries, and dessert. I recommend the bacon cheeseburger and for dessert, a m&m avalanche.

    We stumbled upon the Dairy Grille and not only were they open until 11pm, their Wahoo burger is easily the best ice cream stand burger I've ever had.

    My husband & I came with our 1 year old for a late lunch/early dinner for my birthday!…read moreWe've been here once before about 3 years ago when we were visiting the area & the food was delicious with great service then & the same was true today! One of the managers, Lisa, stopped by our table to check on us. She was so nice & told me she loved my daughter's pigtails (she said she never got to do any fun girl hairstyles because she's a 4 time boy mom lol) We were out shopping in town & decided to come back here for food! The pulled pork sandwich was delicious & my husband loved his perch dinner! We tried to get our daughter to eat the grilled cheese kids meal, but she decided my husband & my food was better lol The sweet potato waffle fries are really good! I loved the peanut butter sauce but did not care for the strawberry jelly dip. 3 years ago we ate here on a sunny day & it was beautiful. Even though it was rainy today, the beachside vibe still made it fun! Hopefully it doesn't take us another 3 years to make it back to the area because I would definitely eat here again! (Anthony plus is that the bathrooms are clean & they have scent sticks which make it smell good)

    First time. Has a very similar vibe (on a smaller scale) to an institution on Marco Island called…read moreSnook Inn. We felt right at home. Long wait to be expected, but we wedged in to the bar. The restaurant has a large parking lot but it could be confusing to those not knowing as the road leading to it is also where vehicles line up for the ferry. Our first go I opted for the Lobster roll and she went with the roasted vegetable grain bowl. Lobster roll was solid but the lobster was a little too cold to be delicious. She loved hers! Neat place that clearly has a following. Hope to happen back soon!
